Income Taxes
Income tax expense of $21,000 and $169,000 was recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rates were (3.6)% and 25.4% for the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three-month period is primarily due to the impact of foreign operations which are taxed at different rates than the U.S. tax rate of 21%. In addition, the change in the U.S. effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2020 was unfavorably impacted by the recording of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset which resulted in the elimination of any income tax benefit.
